Bumping this thread because Im a newb and thats what newb's do :wink:
About 4 years ago we were dispatched For the "Eagle Attack" Myself and my partner both chuckled and called Dispatch to give them the "very funny" thinking they wanted chicken or sumtin for dinner.
We called and the dispatcher was serious... so off we went ..arrived O/S and found a 12y.o. with four large lacerations to his right shoulder... the "perp" was a juvenile bald Eagle that was found injured in the area the fall before and was rehabbed and released down the coast about 800 miles.. he flew back up to his turf and went after a football that was thrown to him thinking it was lunch and got ahold of his shoulder in the process.
It took the enviro. police and fish and game 2 or 3 days to finally catch it.. it had no fear of humans and was chasing people down on the beach that threw any kind of object football, frisbee, etc. It was an interesting call to say the least.
